The Pixapro EF-Mount Optical Snoot Lighting Projector II enables you to use Canon EF or EF-S lenses, to project patterns onto your subject or background, and to add visual interest or cinematic effects with your studio strobe. It can also be used with LED COB studio lights making it a great choice for cinematographers also. Since you have the ability to change lenses, you have a lot more options available to you in terms of projection coverage. You can use a wide-angle lens for large projections, or a telephoto lens It features perfect for fashion, beauty, portrait, food, and product photographers. It is also a great tool for filmmakers.

Unlike most Optical Snoot Lighting Projector II, the EF-Mount Optical snoot can be used in conjunction with any Canon EF or EF-S mount lenses, giving you the option of using either wide-angle lenses (for projections that cover a wide area) or telephoto lenses (for smaller, more controlled projections). NOTE: NOT compatible with EF-M or RF Mount lenses.

The EF-Mount Optical Spot Photography Projector II comes with a selection of 16 different gobos, which enable you to project different shapes and patterns onto your background or subject. You can focus or de-focus the light to produce softer or sharper projections, depending on the type of look you are trying to achieve.

Tips and Recommendations
Although the EF-mount Optical Snoot Lighting Projector II can be used with any Canon EF or EF-S mount lenses, to get the best results, we recommend using fast prime lenses with a maximum aperture of about f/2.8 or wider (such as 50mm or 85mm f/1.8). Using lenses with smaller max. apertures will result in dimmer projections.
The Optical Snoot Lighting Projector II is the ideal tool for any photographer or cinematographer who likes to get creative and add mood with their lighting, which can range from fashion, portrait, editorial and product photographers.
NOTE: Not Suitable for use with Hot Lights.
NOTE: Canon STM Lenses do NOT work with this Optical Snoot as they Cannot be manually focused unless attached to a camera body.
